OpenAI plans to release its new AI model, o3 mini, in the coming weeks.

CEO Sam Altman announced the launch will feature both an application programming interface (API) and ChatGPT, integrating user feedback.

The Microsoft-backed company previously aimed for a January 2025 launch of o3 mini, with a full o3 model expected to follow.

These models are designed to enhance OpenAI’s capabilities in addressing complex tasks in fields such as science, coding, and mathematics.

This announcement comes amid increasing competition in the AI industry, particularly from Google’s parent company, Alphabet.
